He's treated more than 200 cardiac patients as a paramedic. But the CPR story Nezar Mohammad Dorrazaei wants to tell happened on a day at the beach.

Mo, an Occupational Health Technician and first aid trainer in our Auckland team, was on holiday at the beach when he heard people screaming for help.

A child had been pulled from the water. Unconscious. Not breathing.
He sent one person to call 111 and another to find an AED, and started compressions straight away. He talked the child's mother through rescue breaths. When a bystander arrived with an AED, Mo got him on the chest too.

More than 20 minutes of CPR. More than eight shocks. Then the child started breathing. Three weeks later, he went home from the hospital.

Mo's message for World Restart a Heart Day is simple: "Push hard, push fast and shock as soon as possible. I could save that person's life. You could have done that too."

In Aotearoa, bystanders step in at 75% of cardiac arrests. The person beside you at work, at the beach or on the sideline could be the one who restarts a heart. Would your team know what to do?

💙 This World Restart a Heart Day, we're sharing three powerful stories from our own LifeCare team. Read how Mo Dorrazaei, John Stadelman and Brad Smith stepped in when it mattered most, what it really feels like to perform CPR, and why you don't have to be fearless to save a life.

A night out. A stranger on the ground. Two bystanders doing their best.

When John Stadelman, LifeCare Occupational Health Technician in Christchurch, walked out of a theatre and into a cardiac arrest, he did what his paramedic training had taught him: he stayed calm, took charge and gave everyone a job. One on the phone to emergency services. One fetching the AED. John on compressions.

After one shock and another round of CPR, the man started coughing, just as paramedics arrived.

John’s quick thinking, leadership and life-saving skills made all the difference that night. But he didn’t do it alone. Two strangers stepped up, followed his lead and helped give someone a second chance at life.

That’s what World Restart a Heart Day is about: having the skills and confidence to act, and knowing that when people work together, they can save a life.

Most of us hope we'd know what to do. Brad Smith knows what it takes to step in when every second counts.

Brad, LifeCare's Quality and Training Manager, volunteers as a GoodSAM responder. When an alert comes through, he goes. He has arrived at cardiac arrests before emergency services, started CPR straight away, and kept going with the paramedics once they arrived.

He's honest that it's frightening. What carries him through is knowing that what he's doing matters, because it does. Early CPR and an early AED are what give someone a chance.

In Aotearoa, it's bystanders who step in at 75% of cardiac arrests. At work, that bystander is probably someone you sit next to every day. On World Restart a Heart Day, it's worth asking: would they feel ready?

Doing something is better than doing nothing.

We're at the Safety Summit 2026 in Christchurch today! 🙌 And we're encouraging everyone to KNOW THEIR NUMBERS! 💙

Our fantastic team, Debbie Aitken, Donna Corboy, Renata Rogg and Chanel King, are representing LifeCare at this year's Safety Summit, connecting with Health & Safety leaders and offering FREE health checks to everyone visiting our stand!

We're checking three important indicators of cardiovascular and metabolic health:

- Blood pressure: because high blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms.
- Blood glucose: to help identify potential concerns with blood sugar levels.
- Cholesterol: an important indicator when assessing cardiovascular health risks.

Why does this matter in the workplace?

Because workplace health and safety isn't just about preventing accidents. It's also about understanding the health risks that can affect our people, their wellbeing and their ability to work safely.

This year's Safety Summit is bringing together some fantastic speakers exploring leadership, human-centred safety, performance under pressure and better decision-making. And there's a powerful connection to what we're doing at our stand. Good decisions start with good information. Just as H&S leaders need to understand the risks in their workplaces, individuals benefit from understanding their own health indicators.

We've even had two of the Summit speakers stop by for their health checks: Dr. Alexandrina (Alia) Bojilova and James Laughlin!

It's also great to catch up with our client, Brian Clark from VIP Structural Steel at the Summit! You can spot Brian in our third photo, alongside his LifeCare Account Manager, Chanel King, and one of today's speakers, Dr Alia Bojilova. 📸

And in our fourth photo, you'll see James Laughlin alongside Renata Rogg, LifeCare Account Manager, and Donna Corboy, Regional Manager – South Island.

It's always a pleasure to connect with our clients and industry leaders beyond the day-to-day, sharing opportunities to learn and strengthen workplace health and safety.

For employers, making preventive health checks accessible is a practical way to demonstrate that looking after people goes beyond compliance.

Attending the Safety Summit today? Come and say hello to our team, get your free health checks and find out how your numbers are tracking!

And if you're wondering how to bring these health checks into your own workplace, let's start the conversation!

Would you notice if a colleague was struggling? 👀

Most people who are struggling won’t say it out loud. But there are often quiet signs:

1. Pulling back from the team or skipping breaks together
2. Changes in mood, energy or reliability
3. Working much longer hours, or seeming disengaged
4. More irritable or withdrawn than usual
5. Saying “I’m fine” a little too quickly

If you notice a change, check in. A simple “How are you really going?” can make all the difference.

Noticing is the first step to belonging. Read our full article on noticing the signs at work, and see how our Mental Health 101 for Business course helps teams recognise the signs and make a confident first response.

Belonging starts with noticing. 👀

It's day two of Mental Health Awareness Week, and today we're hearing from Pete, Flo and Vicky, volunteers from Project Sunrise NZ who completed our public mental health course. 🎥

In the video, they share why they believe mental health training matters, and how they feel after doing the course.

Most people who are struggling won't say it out loud. But the people around them, like colleagues and teammates, are often the first to notice that something has changed. Training gives people the confidence to notice the signs, start a caring conversation and know where to point someone for support.

Thank you, Pete, Flo and Vicky, for sharing your experience, and to the Project Sunrise team for everything you do. 💚

It's Mental Health Awareness Week, and this year's theme is Belonging Matters.

At work, belonging looks like a colleague who notices you're not yourself, a manager who asks and really listens, and a team that has each other's backs.

Belonging doesn't happen by accident. It starts with us.

To kick off the week, we asked Melissa Farrow, LifeCare's Regional Manager for the Lower North Island and our Mental Health Training Lead, why mental health matters so much in the workplace. 🎥

"Most of us spend more time with our workmates than with our own families. That means the people we work with are often the first to notice the subtle changes when we start to struggle. They're in a unique position to step in early, and at work, we have a responsibility to look after each other."

This week we're sharing practical ways to build belonging in your workplace, plus stories from people who've done our mental health training.

You can have great systems, great services and great technology; but people are what make the difference. 💙

At LifeCare, our team works across different roles, regions and areas of expertise, but there’s something that connects all of us: We care about the people we support and share a strong commitment to health, wellbeing and safety as essential parts of everyday life.

It shows in the way our clinicians interact with employees, the way our trainers build confidence, the way our operational teams make things happen and the way we work together to support our clients.

🎥 In this video, some of our LifeCare people share what they believe makes our team special.

For us, delivering workplace health and safety services isn’t simply about completing a job. It’s about the experience we create, the relationships we build and the difference our people can make along the way.

Who you choose to deliver your workplace health and safety services matters.

Sometimes, the most important thing you do in the day isn’t the job you arrived to do. Our team was onsite with a large food production client, carrying out health monitoring for their workforce, when one of their employees experienced a seizure.

Without hesitation, both LifeCare nurses stopped what they were doing and stepped in to help.

For Jonathan Tweedie, our National Business Development Manager, it was a moment that reinforced something fundamental about the work we do:

Health and wellbeing come first. Always.

Whether our clinicians are onsite for health monitoring, or another workplace health service, they are there first and foremost to look after people.

And when something unexpected happens, that experience and clinical capability can make a real difference.

Is your workplace health programme giving your people the level of clinical support they need?

LifeCare delivers workplace health monitoring and occupational health services across New Zealand, helping organisations protect their people and respond to health risks in the workplace.

What difference can one health screening really make?
Potentially, much more than you might think.

A workplace health screening is more than a set of checks or numbers on a page. It can help someone better understand their health, identify a potential risk and take action they may not otherwise have considered.

For our LifeCare team, that’s what makes every appointment meaningful.

🎥 In this video, members of our team share why workplace health screenings matter and how small interactions can contribute to better health outcomes over time.

For employers, there’s another important benefit too: the more you understand about the health risks within your workforce, the better positioned you are to take action early.

How proactive is your organisation when it comes to employee health?

LifeCare delivers workplace health assessments and health monitoring services across New Zealand, helping organisations identify health risks, support their people and make more informed workplace health decisions.
